Some of Alfred Faber's earliest commissions (and his own home, built upon his arrival in Portland) were in the Waverly Addition. The adjacent Waverleigh Heights and East Portland Heights soon also saw many Faber homes. This group includes all of these. This area is now referred to as Richmond.

2204 SE 34th Avenue - Early title records show that Alfred Faber bought this lot upon arriving in Portland from Philadelphia in 1904 and immediately built this house. Given its very modern design for the time and the beautifully executed brick porch ballustrade, we have to assume that he designed this home himself (which would have been expected for an architect, after all). Within a couple of years, Faber moved on to larger quarters for himself and his family in the new, upscale Piedmont neighborhood.

2205 SE 34th Ave - This house stands across the street from Faber's own house (see 2204 SE 34th). It is attributed to Faber based on the stone porch pillars and the distinctive 3 rayed timber support under the porch gable, which appears in several known Faber designs. The assymetrical porch roof is also an indication of a possible Faber design.
2739 SE 35th Avenue - Another tentative attribution to Faber based on the 12-over-1 double-hung windows and the unusual, but not proven Faber, gable brackets. The pegged tennons appearing on the barge board were used by Faber, but have also been found on homes designed by the firm of Goodrich and Goodrich.
2820 SE 33rd Place - Faber is known to have used the three radiating timbers supporting a porch or front gable end. This isn't an absolute basis for an attribution, but the assymetrical form, also found on other Faber designs is also suggestive.
2833 SE 33rd Place - The scroll-cut twin rafter tails projecting over each porch column and the offset pattern of window muttins in the dormer and second floor windows suggest a non-conformist architect. Faber? Maybe.
2845 SE Franklin Street - The interwoven pattern of timbers supporting the front porch roof is an exceptional detail for a modest bungalow. Other details like the 21-over-1 double-hung front window and the heavy brackets supporting the projecting bay to the left of the porch are all possible Faber touches.
2853 SE Franklin Street - The continuous timber running the full width of the front of the house, supported by rugged brackets and porch cross beams coupled with the multi-lite double-hung windows, suggest an architect was involved with this design. Faber is a good candidate.
2935 SE 35th Avenue - Built for Mrs. H. M. Geren to designs by Alfred Faber. Positive attribution from Portland Daily Abstract, March 25, 1909.
